In order to reduce weight, TDY-16 is built using
3/4in X .035 tubing. In addition, there
are 6 HDPE cross sections (FAP-16 has seven). The
HDPE stem/stern use lightening holes,
and the coaming will be made of fiberglass. The
frame, without coaming, weighs 13.5lbs.
Completed weight with 13oz. PVC skin material should be approx. 25 lbs.
